With 16 AC input channels operating at 79–132 VAC and 47–63 Hz, this module delivers consistent performance in industrial automation systems. Its low power consumption of 33.6 Watts and minimal heat dissipation of 3.3 W contribute to long‑term energy savings and reduced cooling costs, making it a cost‑effective choice for both new installations and upgrades.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eKey parameters of the Allen-Bradley 1769-IA16 ensure precise and dependable operation:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInput Channels:\u003c\/strong\u003e 16 AC inputs with internally connected commons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOperating Voltage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 79–132 VAC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInput Frequency:\u003c\/strong\u003e 47–63 Hz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCurrent Draw:\u003c\/strong\u003e 115 mA at 5.1 Vdc\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower Consumption:\u003c\/strong\u003e 33.6 Watts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeat Dissipation:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.3 W (2.7 BTU\/hr)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInput Delay:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20 ms (both ON and OFF)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOn‑State Voltage (min):\u003c\/strong\u003e 79 VAC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOff‑State Voltage (max):\u003c\/strong\u003e 20 VAC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 118 x 35 x 87 mm (4.65 x 1.38 x 3.43 in.)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eIndustry Applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 1769-IA16 is ideal for discrete manufacturing processes, such as conveyor monitoring, packaging machinery, and material handling. By replacing older, less efficient input modules, this module reduces power waste and improves system reliability. In a typical production line, its 16 AC inputs interface directly with limit switches and proximity sensors, enabling real‑time status detection with minimal false triggers, thanks to the 20 ms input delay. This reliability translates to fewer unscheduled stops and lower total cost of ownership.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCompatibility \u0026amp; Integration\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Allen-Bradley 1769-IA16 integrates seamlessly with MicroLogix 1500 and 1769 CompactLogix controllers. It supports a power supply distance rating of 8 modules and is compatible with the 1769‑PA2, 1769‑PB2, 1769‑PA4, and 1769‑PB4 power supplies. The module uses a removable terminal block for easy wiring, accepting 22–14 AWG solid or 22–16 AWG stranded copper wire rated at 90°C. This flexibility simplifies field installation and future system expansion, increasing overall operational efficiency.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSelection Guide \u0026amp; Purchasing Advice\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen selecting the Allen-Bradley 1769-IA16, verify your controller type (MicroLogix 1500 or CompactLogix) and power supply capacity. The module requires one slot in the chassis and an open‑style enclosure.
